Despite her endless love and pride for her 10-year-old daughter, Jessica admits that she doesn’t want motherhood to “define” who she is as a person, especially as she meets potential new matches in the pods for the first time.

“I want to give people the chance to like, get to know me individually first because even though I’m a mother, and it’s the most important thing to me, it doesn’t define me,” she tells Vanessa and Nick. “I feel like I’ll just know when the time is right to tell somebody.”

And though Jessica may feel some nerves going into the pods, Autumn couldn’t be feeling any more different.

“She can’t wait,” the single mother admits. “Like, she’s already been Googling her dress … I’m like, ‘Let me just go and meet somebody first!’ Like, calm down.”
